Rep Power: 0 97 civic suspension problem... need Help ASAP (pics inside)
Ok so first of all thanks for reading..
I bought this car about a month ago, from someone who basically didnt care much for it.
the car is an 97 Honda civic EX coupe with a 00 Front conversion..
engine nd tranny are mint with only 108K on it...
the guy who owned the car try to changed the suspension to coilover right, but i guess half way thro the process he gave up and the left, the left rear strut/coil stock and coilovers on the rest... so the car look way higher on the rear than the front.
when i first got the car it look horribe so uneven and needed new tires..
long story short, i swapped the one rear stock to the one coilover he had left, still uneven the only way i could get the car to look even was to adjust the front sleeves all the way up the car was wayyy too high but it at least was even front and back..
so i finally decided to get new struts and purchased a set of lowering springs 1.75" front drop, 1.50" drop rear.. installation went nice nd smooth, but for some reason after i took the car off the jack stands it looks even worse!!! (look at the pic).. something like this has never happened to me before so i have no clue of what might had happened.. i know i didnt intalled them backwards because the other spring wouldnt sit right on the rear strut..
PLEASE HELP ME!

Not that i would be able to give you an answer but, try putting the car on jack stands, take the wheels off then take pictures of the suspension.

Looks like someone snuck a V8 in there.. Hmm.. I would honestly need to see the suspension to see what's going on. I've never really seen that did you replace the shocks?
